Especially the more liquid they are - easy to buy, easy to sell. @CCC – foreign currency ETFs are a good choice, too. Especially the more liquid they are – easy to buy, easy to sell.

I'm just talking about purchasing power for the average American. If most of your investments are, say, in small-cap US companies that work domestically, and the USD keeps dwindling, their profits dwindle in purchasing power, too, so will your investments with them. If it's a good thing to diversify into foreign investments at all, then it's an even better idea now and for the same reasons.

That's classic herd panic mentality. Like I’ve argued extensively, “A Weak Dollar Doesn’t Matter Folks!”
